MySQL related Installation Problem

I have run into a stumbling block in my installation of ISPConfig and I am hoping somebody can help.

I have done everything as described in "The Perfect Setup" guide for SUSE.... the only complication being that I am running SUSE 10.0, not 9.3. However, all seemed to be going exactly according to plan until I attempted to install ISPConfig itself. The entire installation seems to run normally, but the last bit of output from the compilation indicated there was a problem:

/root/ispconfig/httpd/bin/apachectl startssl: httpd startedCould not connect to MySQL server!FreshClam is already running!
ISPConfig system is now up and running!

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/classes/ispconfig_db_mysql.lib.php:77) in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/login/login.php on line 60

I am not sure what the problem is. MySQL is up and running and I am able to log into it.... I am even able to log in remotely. One odd thing seems to be that, while the database for ISPConfig is created in MySQL, there are no tables in it... a completely empty schema.

I changed the MySQL root pw to contain only alpha-numeric characters and re-installed. This time, I got the following output at the end of the install process:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/config.inc.php on line 47
No results found!FreshClam is already running!
ISPConfig system is now up and running!

Again, the database has been created, but there are no tables in the schema. When I attempt to log in to ISPConfig through the web interface, I get the message that the password (admin) is invalid.
